"smoked" is a bit strong.......they had it to within one and Pepe missed an open header inside the 6 yard box about 5 minutes before Germany made it 3-1......Germany capitalized on their chances in that game, but it's not like they had an abundance of them....the game wasn't one sided by any stretch. Germany was better, but that game could have easily gone to extra time........Portugal's main weakness was in net and their vulnerability on crosses and set plays, and Germany exposed it in spades in that game. All three goals, all directly from crosses, 2 from set plays.
Back to the divin, there's really no point to debate any more.....you have your opinion, I have mine.....we've been here before.
